The Travel Bug

After returning home from a perfect weekend in Paris I began to feel down (Ive been back less than 24 hours). I always feel this way after an adventure as I'm left craving more. Working all week and having no trips planned makes me feel lost(the bad type). What I need in life is to continuously get lost in other countries/cities. Such feelings inspired me today. I always talk about gettig the travel bug, but today I realised what this entails. 

This is what I describe as...

                  The Travel Bug

It's that feeling you experience when that one trip you've just taken isn't enough! You NEED to see more! Do more! Go more places! 

It's the knot of excitement in your stomach. Butterflies. 

It's when it's nice to be home but you don't feel complete. You've left segments of your heart there. 

It's being home for a brief period of time, then feeling the desire to return back to that special place.

It's when you want to return to that special place but you know there's so much more to see and explore. 

It's an uncontrolled feeling, controlled by our actions

Symptoms:
It's Addiction.
It's Passion.
It's Love.

Diagnosis:
It's called the Travel bug.

Treatment:
Don't fight it. Pack your bag, grab your passport & set off.
